Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in El Segundo, CA

California Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in El Segundo, CA, with Class 2 base leading the list for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under pavers and slabs. The ground here runs from Top Soil to expansive clay that swells when wet and cracks when dry, so what you put under a drive matters as much as what you see on top.

Materials for El Segundo Projects

Most projects in El Segundo start at the bottom, and the bottom is Class 2 base. It is the standard California base, called Class II base, Class 2 aggregate base, class 2 base rock or simply base rock. Caltrans specifies it as Class 2 aggregate base, and it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and Stone Screenings paths.

If you want the same performance from reclaimed material, recycled base rock works the same way. It is Class 2 base made from Road Base or asphalt, and Caltrans allows processed reclaimed asphalt and concrete in aggregate base. Some suppliers around Los Angeles County sell it under the name crushed miscellaneous base, or CMB, for drive and pad subgrade.

Once the base is compacted, you choose a surface. Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or a fresh Class 2 base. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish. Stone Screenings, usually called DG, packs firm for patios and low-water ground cover over a compacted base.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Drain Rock, also sold as #57 stone, is clean stone with no fines, so water moves through it in French drains, drainage trenches and drainage layers. Drain Rock covers drywells, downspout runs and the drainage behind retaining walls.

Sand and soil round out an order. Mason Sand is for brick and block work, paver joints and play areas. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Top Soil builds up lawns and beds over clay or sandy native ground, and Fill Dirt raises grade before any base goes down.

Ground and Conditions in El Segundo

Rain arrives here in a few winter storms and atmospheric rivers after a long dry season. It runs off hardscape, hard dry ground and clay fast, which is why drainage stone and a properly compacted base do most of the work on a drive or pad.

Expansive clay is the other half of the story. Wetting makes it swell under slabs and paving, and drying makes it shrink and crack. A thicker compacted base spreads the load and limits movement, and clean stone like 3/4 inch drain rock or 3/8 inch crushed rock gives water somewhere to go instead of sitting against the subgrade.

Erosion shows up in the canyons and on burned hillsides when the first heavy storms hit, and debris flows can carry rock and mud downslope. Rip rap, also called rock slope protection or RSP, armors slopes, creek banks and culvert outlets. Cobble slows runoff in swales and dry creek beds.

The warm, dry season suits base and paver work through most of the year. Winter storm days are the main interruption, and wet clay is the wrong time to compact.

Bulk delivery means the truck has to reach the drop point and dump. Have the area clear, know where the pile should land, and keep gates, low wires and parked cars out of the way. Class 2 base and crushed stone are heavy loads, so firm ground at the drop helps.
